How Do We Deal With The Elderly And An Opioid Addiction
This is a difficult situation since they are on medication because of chronic pain. However, their long-term use does not necessarily mean that they become addicted to it. Signs of addiction include hiding their drug use, they lie about it and excessive sleepiness. It is best to discuss this with their opioid prescriber. It is a good idea to wean off. There are also new alternatives where they can have a better quality of life.
